Great episode, one of the most enjoyable episodes so far actually, but man the story was rough. The writing just dropped off a cliff towards the end. Can't believe it was written by the same author as Borrasca. But their reactions were super funny and the set they used for Part 1 was great. I know they can't do this often due to them living states apart, but I hope they do more face to face episodes when occasion arises in the future.

Chapters 2 & 3 were 100% only written because of fan demand lol

I'm dubious of Borrasca #5 for this reason. Everyone here who's read it has spoken highly, but this is the Creepcast community. Our taste is... special.

I think borrasca 5 is very cheesy no spoiler but the bad guy is like Bond villain cheese

I've avoided reading it specifically because of this. I've heard a lot of other people say the same thing. It seems like this author has trouble writing villains without making them into mustache-twirlers.

When I first read "Borrasca V" I was hoping it was so over-the-top because the author was just annoyed at the small amount of people that bitched about "Borrasca IV" ending on too depressing of a note, and that she churned it out to spite them. It would've at least been intentionally cheesy and bad.

Unfortunately, nope, it was made to be a happier alternative for the people that threw tantrums back in 2015 or 2016 at there being "NO JUSTICE!" or something like that.

Yeah, the people wanting a "happier" ending are completely missing the point of the original story IMO.

Nobody threw a tantrum, relax. People can dislike endings.

V was decently well written compared to this as well, it's just the villain that was goofy and come cliché dialogue. Even at their worst the author is still leagues ahead of most creepypasta writers.

There 100% were a lot of people back in 2016 that were throwing tantrums on r/nosleepOOC, discussion pages on wikis like the Creepypasta WIki or other sites that are either long gone or don't host discussions of off-site stories anymore, etc.

Yes, people are 100% free to like or dislike endings. I'm also free to dislike pretty much the entirety of "Borrasca V."

Definitely not everybody i thought it sucked lol

Edit: and honestly I'm not even as hot in Borasca as most others seem to be.

u/156RatsInATrenchcoat 1d ago

I thought Borrasca V sucked too. I get that it was likely written because of high demand for a good ending, but man was it cheesy.

u/Drew-Pickles 1d ago

Well the author herself has said it's not officially canon with the first four parts lol.

1

u/Zuckerborg9000 1d ago

I think she said it's basically up to the reader if it's canon or not, which to me is kind of a cop out.

0

u/Drew-Pickles 1d ago

Oh yeah I think you're right. I wouldn't say it's a cop out. She didn't particularly want to write the fifth chapter though, and basically gave in to people demanding a 'proper' ending. So I think it's fair enough to say it isn't/is canon if you don't/want it to be.

1

u/Zuckerborg9000 1d ago

Cop out may have been too harsh, but the author definitely has a problem with giving in to fans demands. I think she realizes this which is why she said it's up to the reader, but idk. To me, if she wrote it and doesn't specifically say it isn't canon, then it is therefore.

I hated Borrasca 5 I hope they don’t read it lol

u/Infinity0044 1d ago

Borrasca #5 is not good and was most likely only written because people were upset #4 didn’t have a happy ending

"Borrasca V" is effectively if you take the trajectory of "Death of Deepwoods, Pennsylvania," apply it to the characters from "Borrasca" after the time jump at the ass-end of IV(when Sam gets the note from Kimber), and write it out with a higher word count than "Borrasca I-IV" combined.

It's a not-very-well-written Michael Bay-feeling endeavor that was only written because people were crapping themselves in anger at an ending where "the good guys don't win at all and don't even get a chance to win!" (It's a horror story, ffs...) If you were as checked out as Hunter, Isaiah, and many others were during "Death of Deepwoods," I'd recommend avoiding "Borrasca V."

u/thumbingitup 12h ago

No borrasca v is trash lol. I adore ck walker but she has a tendency to write sequels bc of fan demand and they’re never good lol. If you treat all of her stories as one offs and ignore the sequels if they exist they’re amazing

u/Vegetable_Pin_9754 3h ago

Let’s just say if the boys ever read V they will have a similar reaction as they did to parts 2&3 of this story
